Bill Clinton Set To Testify In Epstein Investigation

Former President Bill Clinton is set to testify behind closed doors Thursday to a congressional committee investigating the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton initially refused to appear but relented after lawmakers threatened contempt of Congress. Transcripts of the depositions are expected to be made public. Hillary Clinton testified Wednesday, saying she had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

Save America Act faces uncertain path in Senate

Election-year legislation that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote appears stalled in the Senate, despite President Donald Trump urging lawmakers to pass it “before anything else” in his State of the Union address. The bill, known as the SAVE America Act, has strong support from House conservatives but faces Democratic opposition and divisions among Republicans in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the GOP is still discussing how to move forward.

IRS illegally shared tax data with ICE, judge rules

A federal judge has found that the Internal Revenue Service broke the law by improperly sharing confidential taxpayer information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said the IRS violated strict privacy rules tens of thousands of times by disclosing last known addresses to ICE. The ruling stems from a data-sharing agreement between the Treasury Department and Homeland Security, which the government is now appealing.

Hillary Clinton Speaks After Six Hour Long Deposition On Epstein

"I don't know how many times I had to say I did know not know Jeffrey Epstein." Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denied any personal connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and said she had no information to share about his criminal activities, after emerging from a highly anticipated deposition with lawmakers on Thursday. "I answered every one of their questions as fully as I could, based on what I knew. And what I knew is what I said in my statement this morning. I never met Jeffrey Epstein, never had any connection or communication with him. I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually as an acquaintance. But whatever they asked me, I did my very best to respond." Clinton's testimony lasted seven hours and was behind closed doors before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee. The committee's Republican chairman James Comer called the deposition "productive." "I think we learned a lot. There were a lot of questions that we asked that we weren't satisfied with the answers that we got, but we will continue to move forward." Clinton had a different view of Thursday's questioning, accusing the panel of trying to shift focus away from President Donald Trump's ties to Epstein. "They asked literally the same questions over and over again, which didn't seem to me to be very productive. "It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the Internet. That was serving as the basis of a member's questions to me."

Trump Responds to Democrat's Antics

Walz Unveils Anti-fraud Package After Trump Admin Threatens To Halt Medicaid Funds

Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration's latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government's immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds. Walz's proposals were in the works well before Vance's announcement. They followed other initiatives Walz launched previously to try to come to grips with a problem that eventually helped lead him to drop his bid for a third term. “This is a targeted retribution against a state that the president doesn’t like,” Walz said at a news conference, where he said the administration is using the same kind of “false information” on fraud as a “pretext” the way it did to justify Operation Metro Surge, in which the Department of Homeland Security sent over 3,000 federal officers into Minnesota. The governor's long list of proposals is aimed at better detection and oversight, strengthened investigative and enforcement authority and increased criminal penalties. One of them is the creation of a centralized Office of the Inspector General to lead fraud prevention efforts. The state Senate passed a bipartisan inspector general bill last year. But it remains stalled in the House amid disagreements over whether it should have law enforcement authority or, as the Walz administration prefers, just focus on investigations and leave enforcement up to the existing state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said at a news conference Wednesday with Vance that the government would hold off on paying $259.5 million to Minnesota for Medicaid, the health care safety net for low-income Americans. Oz said the money would be delivered only after Minnesota implements "a comprehensive corrective action plan to solve the problem.” And he gave Walz 60 days to respond. “How does taking and punishing children and elderly have anything to do with fighting fraud?” Walz countered. He added that the Trump administration has given his team no guidance for how to address its concerns, nor any opportunity to show the work that Minnesota has already done over the years to fight fraud. His administration estimates that 1.2 million Minnesotans could be hurt. The Trump administration's move was part of a larger effort to spotlight fraud around the country, following allegations of fraud involving day care centers run by Somali residents in the Minneapolis area that prompted the massive enforcement surge in the Midwestern city, resulting in widespread protests. One Minnesota federal prosecutor last summer estimated that the total fraud across several programs could exceed $9 billion. But John Connolly, the state's Medicaid director, told reporters Thursday the state has no evidence to substantiate such a high figure. Officials at the Minnesota Department of Human Services, which administers Medicaid, noted that withholding $259.5 million — retroactive to the fourth quarter of 2025 — follows earlier federal action to withhold more than $2 billion in annual Medicaid funding to the state. The agency said the state submitted a corrective action plan earlier, and is still in the process of appealing that decision. The state agency said it has implemented several new processes and reforms to prevent and detect Medicaid fraud since 2024. The changes included identifying areas at high risk of fraud, imposing stricter controls such as criminal background checks on providers, and more unannounced site visits. Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison are both scheduled to appear before the U.S. House Oversight Committee next Wednesday for a hearing on misuse of federal funds in Minnesota's social service programs.
